Know before you buy
Yes, the Vengeance LPX series is specifically designed with a low-profile form factor, making it an excellent choice for compact cases where space around the CPU cooler is limited.
To achieve the rated 4000MHz speed, you must enable the XMP 2.0 profile in your motherboard's BIOS settings. Without enabling this profile, the memory will default to the standard SPD speed of 2133MHz.
This specific kit is optimized for Intel 300, 400, 500, and X299 series motherboards. While it may function on other platforms, it is not officially validated for AMD systems, so performance and stability may vary.
The pure aluminum heatspreader is designed to pull heat away from the ICs and into your system's airflow path. This helps maintain stability during high-performance tasks and overclocking sessions.
It is standard for DDR4 memory to default to a baseline SPD speed of 2133MHz upon first installation to ensure the system boots successfully. You must manually enable the XMP profile in your BIOS to unlock the advertised 4000MHz performance.
Corsair tests each memory chip individually to ensure it meets strict performance and overclocking standards. This screening process helps provide better reliability and consistent performance across both modules in the kit.
